North of France, Sainte-Gudule, 1977. Suzanne (Deneuve) is a placid housebound 'trophy housewife' (or "potiche") of wealthy industrialist Robert Pujol (Luchini), who oversees his umbrella factory with an iron fist and is equally tyrannical with his children and wife. When the workers go on strike and take Robert hostage, Suzanne steps in to manage the factory. To everyone's surprise, she proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action. But when Robert returns from a restful cruise in top form, things get complicated. Depardieu plays Babin, a former union leader, and Suzanne's ex-beau who still holds a flame for her.
